| - This tiny little place just two blocks north of Bloor, right at the crust edge of Yorkville, has move European je ne sais quoi than many much larger so-called French and European restaurants in Toronto!
The customer seating area, where the tables are, is perhaps even smaller than my living room. For some that could be a bit of a bad thing however personally, if you go early in the morning, the place reminds me to a hole in the wall you might find in Montmartre or in a non-touristy area of Paris.
Their Crêpes are tasty, hot, made on the spot and unlike other places, the crêpes are not perfectly shaped, or as presentation friendly, which in reality I think it *adds* to the rustic and personal touch this locale already exudes. Which to me is very refreshing.
During the summer months you will find a number of customers hanging just outside, seating on the bench enjoying their crêpes. Which by they way, they will give to you in a paper bag in case you want them, you know, to GoGo.
As far as large groups? Don't. If you have a group larger than four (and that's already pushing it) then consider yourself lucky if you actually manage to get a table, specially during brunch hours. There are line ups.
Lastly, the service, they are French --at least the ones I talked to. They are friendly and sometimes depending when you go, they are a bit rushed, but not enough to give you the impression that they are rushing *you.* They are just busy.
I live about 7 minutes away walking it, so I try to go there from time to time and I recommend it to anyone who would prefer to try something different, something more than the assembly-line vibe you get at other crêpes places.
